Abstract

Chronic pain is a debilitating condition that negatively impacts the health and well-being of people around the world. Although the number of OT practitioners using mindfulness interventions is growing, there is limited research that explores specific mindfulness techniques and its usage in practice. Further research on mindfulness techniques in occupational therapy can provide insight on how it can benefit clients with chronic pain and their occupational performance and supports the current national initiative for pain treatment alternatives. By using an online survey, this exploratory research tries to answer what is the current use of mindfulness strategies in OT practice for treating patients with chronic pain, how current OT practitioners view mindfulness and how current practitioners utilize mindfulness interventions in the treatment of chronic pain diagnostic categories.
